Re: problem with "extra" lyrics appearing only sometimes

[tisimst]

Kieren,

This doesn't necessarily answer your question, but one thing I've noticed about assigning lyrics to voices, is that if I don't explicitly mention the voice inside the \score block, then it's almost like the lyrics don't know the voice exists. So, If there's a way to show \context Voice = "Voice_S" somewhere inside the \score block, then the lyrics should find the right notes.

HTH,

Abraham

Hello all,

Apologies in advance: I don’t have time for a minimal example…
I’m supposed to have sent this engraving off this morning.  =\
I just need to figure out what’s wrong and move on.

I have the following structure:

      \new ChoirStaff <<
        \new Staff = "Staff_SA" \new Voice = "Voice_SA" << \global \SA_notes >>
            \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "Staff_SA" } \lyricsto "Voice_S" \S_words
            \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Voice_SA" { \SA_words }
        \new Staff = "Staff_TB" \new Voice = "Voice_TB" << \global \TB_notes >>
            \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "Staff_TB" } \lyricsto "Voice_T" \T_words
            \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Voice_TB" { \TB_words }
      >>

This allows me to have up to four lines of lyrics: one above and one below each of the two choral staves.

For some reason, some lyrics are appearing and others are not. It seems almost random. In my note code, where I want to have (e.g.,) some soprano words appear, I use:

    <<
      { \voiceTwo r2 a'8 gs' fs' e' ~ 2 ~ 2 }
      \context Voice = "Voice_S" { \voiceOne e''8 ds'' cs'' b' ~ 1 ~ 2 }
    >> \oneVoice r4   | % SA 25

As I said, this appears to work exactly as expected in many circumstances, and fail completely in others.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this intermittency?

Thanks,
Kieren.
